Eat or Iaan2

There is in progress adecided change
in the public taste and demand fol-
beef. pork and mutton, with less fat
and more lean. 1t is not the lean caused
by poor or scanty feeding, but that
kind of meat which is produced by
breeding the choicest class of animals
in the direction of marblejzed meat
finely streaked with alternate fat and
lean. The hog which is mere lump
of lard. is no longer acceptable to the
consumer of fresh pork. This kind OF
meat, especially In the cooler parts OF
the year, is in immense demand in ouI
town and city markets. Hence such
butchers as pride themselves in fur
nishing their choice customers with
such pork chops or roasts as can only
be furnished from a certain class OF
hogs, are beginning to be particular
about the character and condition OF
the hogs they buy. And some of then
are necessarily educated to be the best
| judges of the meat of the hog. AND
swine-feejeTs are beginning to wake
up TO the question of producing an an
| imal which Is composed of something
more agreeable to the the taste of the
| epicure. And in the future hog breed
eTs will have to take this inso cOnsid
| eration.- Iowa State Register.

Non-effecttve State Constitutional
Prohibition

An Augusta Me. special says: The
prOhlbltory law of Maine has Just re-
ceived most terrific setback in this
vicinity. The people are everywhere
discussing the new phase put on the
liquor question by the recent action of
Michael Burns, a well known liquor
dealer of this city, who has brought
from Liverpool to Augusta a large in
voice of foreign distilled spirits, which
he is selling to all who wish to pur-
chase. He closed his shop in March
last and departed for Liverpool. where
he entered into negotiations with one
of the largest importing houses in that
city for an unlimited supply of all
kinds of distilled spirits. The United
States government protects all persons
importing liquors from foreign coun-
tries from prosecution under any state
prohibitoTy law for selling such goods
in the original, unbroken packages,
and the dealer has landed in this city
an advance lot of Irish whiskey aud
Jamaica rum. The liquor came through
the Portland custom house and landed
in Augusta by freight. When the
goods reached the depot they were
loaded upon cart and hauled through
the streets, the police looking upon
the scene with wildly staring eyes. 1t
was an unusual thing to witness the
transportation of liquor through the
town in broad daylight, and of course
the sight attracted great attention.
The store is now stocked with the
goods, and they are piled in his win
dOws before the admiring gaze of ali
opponents of the prohibitory law. The
retail price of the goods has been made
so low 40 10 be in easy reach of the
purchasing public, and the sales have
already been large. The officers are
surprised at the affair, and every law
yer in town has been engaged TO look
up the law bearing upon the sale of
imported liquors in their original
packages. The Southwest. (Liquor.)

Selecting a Sire.

4 vast amount of good sound educ3-
tion is needed among farmers concern.
ing the true principles of breeding,
| both for the dairy and for beef. Each
| of these qualities are as distinct in lines
of heredity as speed or draft in horses,
or bird hunting and fox hunting in
dogs.
When a certain trait or peculiar tai
ent has been established by long years
of breeding in and for that quality
like begets like" and the more years
a male has behind him of that specific
line of breeding, the more potent does
he become and the more certain is like
to beget like. A great many farmers
do not understand the value of this
principle. They will often remark
something like this: Il don't care
for pedigree, what want is individual
excellence in the sire himself" There
is dangerous fallacy in that sort OF
doctrine. Like cannot beget like until
a long line of Likes" have established
a potency in that sort of like. And this
is all there is of pedigree. Nothing is
more frequent than to see farmers buy
ing grade bulls with the idea firm in
| their heads that the grade is rs good as
thorough bred. Not long since we
demonstrated with dairyman for buy
ing a grade Jersey and his reply which
was as follows, showed how cloudy his
ideas were: Haven't heard you say
often that grade cows would produce
as much milk as thoroughbred and
how are we going to get grade cows
if we do not use grade bulls!"-We
gave it up and concluded that it was no
use to reason any farther with that
man. Such men forget that in the I'M
ion ofsay half blood Jersey or Holstein
sire with the ordinary or scrub cow,
the cal T will have even automatically,
only one-quarter of the improved blood
| of the sire. There is the half scrub
| blood of the sire united with the full
scrub blood of the mother, to contend
| in potency against the feeble quarter of
thoroughbred blood impaired by the
sire.
But in practical breeding it is almost
universally seen that the progeny show
the effect of the majority blood in a
much greater degree than it is entitled
| to mathematically. Hence it is neces-
sary to provide that the current coming
| from the sire shall in all instances be
pure and full, in order that it may over
come as much as possible the murky
current of the mother and thus pro-
duce an improved current in the pro
geny. The true way in selecting sire
is to establish, first, that he must be a
thorough bred of the breed we want,
and second. that he must be as perfect
''as our purse can BUY.
1Nx l,nt
the potency we are after-that power
of like to beget like, comes not from
his form and individual excellence, sc
much as that quality he has inherited
from his ancestors. And the longer
line of inheritance-Or heredity-he
has received. the more has he to i'm
part to his offspring.-L Hoard's Dairy
man.
